Gas feedstock problem at Aceh's fertilizer plants

For almost a decade, urea fertilizer plants in Aceh province, Indonesia has struggled to secure natural gas supply from next door gas producer PT Exxon Mobil Oil Indonesia (EMOI) Inc. Initially, there were two urea plants operated separately by PT Pupuk Iskandar Muda (PIM) and PT Aseah Aceh Fertilizer (AAF) with combined capacity of around 1.2 million tones per year. Both plants have already been in operation since 1970s. They relied on the same source with liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant operated by PT Arun LNG, a joint venture between Pertamina, Exxon, and Japanese companies.
But depleting natural gas reserves combined with long military conflict in the surrounding area of Lhokseumawe, Aceh between Indonesian military (TNI) and Free Aceh Movement (GAM), had worsened gas supply for both PIM and AAF. In the meantime, both companies embarked on expansion projects which significantly needs additional gas supply. AAF built a hydrogen peroxide plant, while PIM built the second ammonia and urea units with additional capacity of 330,000 tones and 570,000 tones per year respectively.
Both projects were supposed to get natural gas supply from other sources than EMOI which is new gas fields off Malacca Strait. But until the kick off operations of both new plants, no new gas sources onstream. As expected, it's a fiasco. AAF and PIM have to run their plants on and off, largely depend on level of gas output produced by EMOI and their export commitment to Japanese LNG customers.
Despite Indonesian government's efforts to ask EMOI to supply gas to PIM and AAF (both state-owned enterprises), none of the plants could run at normal operating rates. Government then let PIM to export most of its output so it could buy natural gas to fulfil EMOI's export commitment. Government and PIM is said to have started negotiation with other LNG producers in Qatar to meet long-term demand for PIM. Would it be a good solution?
